iPad able to use day but won’t send SMS

RCHX1 — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 11:10:31 GMT

Hi I have an iPad Pro on a monthly contract. I am able to use the data fine but when I try to send an SMS it shows a red exclamation and not delivered sign. My iMessages are sending fine.

Hello @RCHX1 ,

Welcome to the community,

If you go to settings on your IPhone, then scroll down to Messages, check that Text Message Forwarding and that your IPad is included .

@RCHX1 If you don’t have an iPhone then you can not send texts Messages on an iPad. The text feature is setup via iCloud and it actually sends via your iPhone when using the iPad. as no iPad can send text messages.
